You should take your child to a therapist who can examine the child and provide a report indicating that continued exposure to his father without some control of this behavior is not in your child's best interests. Once you are able to confirm your belief through a third party (therapist) then you should file a motion to modify custody so that your son will not be exposed to this behavior. It's not too late when he is 5 years old but if you wait too long, permanent damage can be done. See a good lawyer now.
